Yep, what we have here are reformed XEmacs users.

Actually, I used Emacs for many years.
Jumped to XEmacs when Emacs sunk into a funk and JWZ brought his
considerable talents to bear, then jumped back when Emacs caught up
and surpassed XEmacs.

I don't think we're going to see a lot of reasons to use XEmacs.
I suggested 2 and got my list pared down to 1.
